JAMES DEAUNDRE DOUGLAS, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 339th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1081807




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellant, James Deaundre Douglas, pleaded guilty to the offense of aggravated robbery without an agreed recommendation as to punishment and the trial court ordered a pre-sentence investigation. After a pre-sentence investigation hearing, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 25 years. Appellant gave written notice of appeal. The trial court’s certification of appellant’s right of appeal states that appellant has the right of appeal.

          Appellant’s counsel on appeal has filed a brief stating that the record presents no reversible error, that the appeal is without merit and is frivolous, and that the appeal must be dismissed or affirmed. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396,(1967). The brief meets the requirements of Anders by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and detailing why there are no arguable grounds for reversal. Id. at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; see also High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 810 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

          Counsel represents that he has served a copy of the brief on appellant. Counsel also advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. Having reviewed the record and counsel’s brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and that there is no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27(Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

          We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Alcala, and Hanks.
